Recently Oxley Home Care commenced providing home care personal services for my father. The Senior Care Coordinator was very prompt in coming to visit my father and in organising support within a week of my phone call enquiry. She has been very friendly and helpful, and keen to ensure that the Care Worker is a good match for my father. We appreciated her phone call following up after the Care Worker's first visit to check that Dad was happy and that his needs were being met.
Dad is indeed very happy with the support of his Care Worker - "She is a delightful young lady with a personality that brightens up my day. She comes for one hour five mornings a week, and is meticulous in carrying out the allocated tasks. She is efficient and uses her initiative." Many thanks Oxley Home Care! Margaret Grainger

Oxley Home Care are real professionals, and I was lucky to find them. They followed up promptly on my initial call, and always stayed in contact. They went out of their way to help me get started with a care worker, who was always prompt and supportive. I can highly recommend them !

I do not know what I would do without Oxley Home Care.
From Management/Office staff to Carer's, the service is exceptional.
The level of service and the interaction of Carer's with my parents is just amazing. Absolutely exceptional.
At times I have needed adhoc services urgently and Oxley Office staff has organised this with ease for me.
I cannot praise Oxley Home Care enough.
I know they have my parents needs and wellbeing a priority.
I do not hesitate in recommending Oxley Home Care .

I have been very fortunate to find a provider like the Oxley Home Care team. From senior management to Regional care Manager, to all the lovely ladies in the office and all the care workers that have assisted in helping me take care of my mother at home, I have found them to be very professional in all aspects of there work. They have been very understanding and caring and very compassionate , always willing to do above and beyond in assisting me to take care of my mother and giving me and my family the moral support to continue to do so. I highly recommend Oxley Home Care to anyone who is in need of any type of care for themselves or for there loved ones or even for a friend. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Oxley Home care Team. You are amazing. Please continue the terrific work of always helping others.
Thank you again. Sr. Sofia.

It’s vital that carers of people with dementia receive a break

Carers of people with dementia can often feel guilty when asking for support, but it is vital for them to have a break to ensure they remain physically and mentally healthy.

(To find out more about dementia from an insider’s perspective, click here. And, for the top 10 early signs of dementia, click here.)

In-home respite can offer care with minimal disruption to the home all the while providing amazing benefits for all concerned.

A new online education program developed by the University of Wollongong has been developed to boost uptake of respite services.

The free program includes online goal setting and motivation building activities to help carers overcome common barriers to using respite care.

The 10-week program supports carers to work towards personal goals, learn more about respite care and navigate the system.

Dr Liz Cridland from the university’s Australian Health Services Research Institute told Australian Ageing Agenda that caring for a person living with dementia can be a positive experience, however the challenges can cause feelings of frustration and exhaustion and many carers feel guilty about asking for support.

“There have been a lot of changes over the past two years in the way that respite services are delivered in Australia. This program will help carers navigate the system with more confidence and re-think how respite can support them and the person with dementia for whom they care,” Dr Liz Cridland said.

One carer who has participated in the online program said: “[It] gave me encouragement, direction and confidence to face our future life’s journey.’ [It provided] confidence to organise respite services.”

To access further information on Rethink Respite, click here. To enrol in the project, contact Dr. Liz Cridland directly on (02) 4221 4226 or email liz_cridland@uow.edu.au – enrolments are taken between February to April 2017.

Testimonials from our valued clients.

My Care Worker, Karin, is so efficient, capable and caring. She has proved to be intelligent, reliable, conscientious and her integrity is undoubted. She has been a huge factor in my living in my own home with all my health problems. Her assistance in so many ways has contributed greatly to me achieving this and hopefully will continue for some time to come. I am very lucky to have the assistance of such a capable and understanding Care Worker from Oxley Home Care.
